Impact on Customers: 9 Single Tracks, and 6 Reroutes. Street and lane closures around worksites, curtailed

access to resident garages (at Armitage).

Benefit to System: Additional traction power capacity reduced traction power related train defects,

improved reliability for revenue service, and improved safety.

Benefit to Community: Improved safety.

Impact on Accessibility: None.

Estimated # of Jobs Created: 89

Customer Communication Need: Construction Activity Notices will be needed to alert businesses and residents to

weekend, night work and power outages.

Construction Progress

Delay Explanation:

• CDOT OUC reviewing earth retention permit requirements for Armitage. FHP has received OUC permit.

Phase Description Status

Construction Farwell – 1st Floor Concrete Walls have been completed. Installation of rebar and

formwork is continuing for the 2nd Floor Slab with the concrete pour scheduled for mid-

month. Rebar and Formwork for the 2nd Floor Walls is underway with associated

concrete pours scheduled for the end of the month. Site Utility work and Building

Masonry will follow.

Armitage – Installation of track level platforms and cable supports continues. Site work

has begun to regrade and excavate 18 inches in preparation for Earth Retention System

(ERS) installation. CTA Track Structure Column Replacement work will continue into next

year.

Hill – Foundation walls and columns have been completed. 1st Floor Slab Rebar and

Formwork installation are continuing for the concrete pour over the Cable Vault Area. The

Exterior Foundation Walls are being waterproofed and the Transformer Area is currently

being backfilled to prepare for the 1st Floor Transformer Area rebar installation and

concrete pour.

Sedgwick- Cable Support Brackets and Switch Platforms have been installed

ahead of schedule.

Project Title: Red Line South Reconstruction Project


Justification of Need:

The existing ties, rail and track components, as well the underlying ballast and

drainage systems have reached or exceeded their useful life. In addition, this

project is necessary to provide accessibility at all of the Dan Ryan stations and to

improve customer experience at these stations.

Impact on Customers:

The Dan Ryan Red Line branch from Cermak to 95th will be shutdown for 154 days

from May 19th, 2013 to October 20, 2013. There may be single track outages prior to

the line cut to perform preparatory work.

Benefit to System: Reduced maintenance costs; Improved reliability; New infrastructure

Benefit to Community: Improved customer travel times by eliminating slow zones; New elevators at Garfield,

63rd and 87th

Impact on Accessibility: Garfield, 63rd and 87th stations will be accessible.

Estimated # of Jobs Created: 1150

Customer Communication Need:

Preliminary outreach started last fall. A comprehensive outreach plan will be

implemented to ensure all customers clearly understand travel alternatives and

construction impacts.

Project Title: Bus Hoist Replacement Program – Phase 1



Delay Explanation:

Phase 1: Elevation differential in underground drainage has resulted in the requirement to place new drainage lines as

opposed to tying into existing drainage lines

Phase 2: Phase 2 date extended to better accommodate installation of hoists and minimize impact to bus operations.

Phase 3: Phase 3 dates extended to better accommodate installation of hoists and minimize impact to bus operations.

Phase 4: Phase 4 dates extended to better accommodate installation of hoists and minimize impact to bus operations.
